IMHO the sidebar takes too much space in x direction as you cann see here:

I know that this was done because of usability which can be read here:
http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/2922
But why isn't it done like Kate's or Konqueror's sidebar?
It just takes a bit of space in x direction and clicking again on the same field collapes this view. Furthermore imagine other languages where perhaps "Thumbnails" must be translated into two words each containing 10 characters or so.

Implementing this would be really great.
